Iggy Pop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There all over this world
Hah!
Like to look at ya
Well I'm gonna tell you about girls.
They're all over this world
Some have beautiful shapes
Yeah, somebody to talk to
And I like to look at you
Yeah, somebody to talk to
And I love to look at you
'Cause you're a real fine girl
Last week in Paree
I was hanging down with Suzee
That crazy French magazine
She turned me backwards to a new scene
'Cause she was somebody to talk to
And to tell my troubles to
She was somebody that's so fine
Worth my looking in to
She's a beautiful girl, girl, girl
Summertime
Oh, and the living is easy
The girls are jumping
And the cotton is high
Your daddy is rich
And your mama's good looking
So hush little baby
And don't you cry
'Cause you're a real fine girl
In "Girls", Iggy Pop is expressing his admiration for women around the world. He starts by acknowledging the presence of girls everywhere he goes, and how he enjoys looking at them. Then he delves into the different shapes and sizes that girls come in, suggesting that he is not picky when it comes to women. He expresses his desire to live long enough to experience all that women and life have to offer.
The second verse talks about his recent experience in Paris with Suzee. She was able to bring out a new side of him and provide a listening ear to his troubles. Iggy describes her as a fine girl, worth looking into. The final verse takes a turn from the previous two and appears to be an ode to the summer season. He describes the carefree spirit of girls during this time and suggests that they come from affluent families. He then reassures a crying baby girl that she is a real fine girl.
